About this property

Large Andalucian Farmhouse, stunning views, pool & gardens,close to Natural Park

This impressive Andalucian farmhouse, located in an elevated position, amongst olive and almond groves, has the most stunning views. Overlooking the valley, across white-washed villages, the scenery stretches across to the Tejeda mountain range. The farmhouse has been a family home for many years and in the process, has been lovingly restored yet has retained many of its original features. The rooms all have the traditional beamed ceilings, many with terracotta floor tiles, open fire places/wood burning stoves, decorative wrought iron lights and beautiful wooden doors. 'Modern' and 'comfort' have been sympathetically introduced and the farmhouse is furnished in an ecclectic fashion including antiques along with modern necessities. The large farmhouse kitchen is the core of the house, along with plenty of rooms to relax, watch tv and read. The bedrooms are all prepared with fresh linen and towels, are spacious and airy and again all have spectacular views. The outside of the property is a delight and is an important part of a normal holiday enjoying the pool, gardens and views. The mature gardens with mediterranenan trees, flowers and shrubs is a beautiful feature of the property. There is an outside kitchen with fridge, oven and hob close to the small courtyard area finished in local stone which is cool and shaded. There is also a large gas BBQ. The terraces are extensive, the main one surrounding the pool and has sun beds..Here there is also a gazebo with shaded dining/seating area and also plenty of room for the table tennis table. The other side of the house also has another large enclosed and secure patio ideal for younger children. It has Moorish arches, plenty of shade, seating areas and panoramic views.
The private drive to the property is shared by another private property which is located in the grounds of the farmhouse also with its own private pool and gardens.
Colmenar is the nearest local village and has good tapas bars, restaurants, local shops, weekly fruit and veg market, banks, butchers, bakeries, chemist, 24 hour medical centre etc.
Our farmhouse is an ideal location if you also intend to explore this beautiful area. The main dual carriageway heading inland or to the coast is only 10 kms away. Historic Granada has the famous Alhambra Palace, Malaga has its Gibalfaro castle, Cathederal, new Muelle Uno marina with great shops and restaurants and the old town has traditional tapas bars. Also a huge selection of restaurants from simple to 1 Michelin Star, Picasso Museum, small boutiques etc. Cosmopolitan Marbella with its beaches and Orange Square, Nerja with its famous Balcon de Europa, Burriana Beach, Ronda with its bullring and gorge, Cordoba with its ancient Mezquita to name but a few. Lots of other beaches and shopping centres are all an easy trip and the airport is approx 30 mins.

Wonderful stay in a stunning property
We had a wonderful week in this large property with stunning views over the andalusian countryside, only 10 minutes away from the pretty village of Colmenar. How marvelous to sit by the pool and watch the awesome scenery! Inside, the house is full of charming little sitting areas with lots of character in addition to the main sitting room. One week is not enough time to use them all as well as all the outside sitting areas. Angela is a very attentive host that will do everything in her power to make your stay more agreable. From there we went visiting all the main town like Granada, Cordoba, Malaga and Ronda. Plus Comares, closer at hand. We kept Seville for the beginning and end of our stay as it is further away and that was the town of arrival and departure in Spain. We would have loved to stay longer, this was such a lovely place. Thank you Angela.

House was nice, but attached to another property and has a small pool
The positives - the house is nice, has a charming rustic feel, aircon in most bedrooms, in a nice location with good views and Angela was welcoming and helpful when we needed to find a doctor (ear infection). The negatives - the pool is around 4m by 7m, and around 1m deep which was a disappointment for us; we were also surprised to find we couldn't use the patio with the best view as its the roof of the attached properties kitchen; the wifi is out of range from the pool area as the walls of the villa are so think; the access road is not for the faint-hearted and there were a lot of wasps (but Angela organised someone to come and spray towards the end of the week). Overall we still enjoyed our week there, but I felt the price and description of the villa were out of keeping with what we found

Stunning views, peaceful and relaxing.
We had a lovely stay here and enjoyed the extra things for the children like the trampoline, tree house, slide, chickens and ping pong table. There was so much space that it was very comfortable for us with four children. The house was very clean and well looked after. The track leading down to the house is not ideal as it is very bumpy and steep but the surroundings made up for it. Would highly recommend and we hope to come back in the near future.

Blissful!
We have just returned from 10 days at this beautiful farmhouse feeling relaxed and refreshed. No one wanted to go home - what a find! We love Andalucia and have visited many times but this has been our favourite place to stay by far! The perfect mix of exploring and relaxing, table tennis and the trampoline were a real hit and the barbecue was fired up most nights as we ate outside admiring the fabulous views. The local village provided ample choice of food and great wine for self catering which meant we ate in every night - it was too good not to! The house itself was large and rambling which provided plenty of space for us all and the reviews are right - very comfy beds. We all loved it! Angela was the perfect hostess - just there when you needed her. Thank you so much for such a lovely holiday.

Fab for families
This is the second time we have stayed at this glorious farmhouse as a family. The children have plenty of things to keep them occupied, chickens, walks, trampoline, tree house, table tennis along with the requisite pool and sunshine! A real home from home and extremely comfortable and a bonus , good quality cotton sheets! I really am transfixed with the views each time we have stayed and the gorgeous countryside. Although located in the countryside, waving to the goat herder each evening and watching the sunrise over the mountains, the village is not too far away. It also has an excellent bakery and butchers along with the normal small supermarkets. A great help was the info. book which gave us new ideas which we would not normally have known about. The Wolf Park near Antequera and the new Marina at Malaga are well recommended and roof top cocktails!...Thank you Angela, a great idea for my sons birthday. Angela was very helpful which made our stay even more enjoyable. We will be booking again next year , probably September this time. Muchas Gracias

About the host

Host profile image
My husband and I moved to this beautiful region 16 years are still singing its praises! Our children were born here and have totally embraced the Spanish way of life and language. We endured many years of toil, mañana syndrome, heat, frustration, situations lost in heard it all in the novels! We now run our own exclusive property rental business here in this spectacular region. We have a selection of beautiful properties to suit most peoples' requirements, with private pools, gardens and fabulous views. It was worth it, sometimes we even squeeze a little time to enjoy the sunshine, relaxing way of life and fabulous regional vino! Our extensive knowledge of the area we also pass on to clients to ensure they have a wonderful time.

Why they chose this property

We arrived in Spain looking for a sea view and bought a view to see! Words cannot describe the spectacular , panoramic views from the property that we encountered on our first visit, all illuminated by a bright full moon. It was love at first sight!
The area was, and still is a real " breath of fresh air" , rolling countryside, beautiful scenery, quaint, Moorish villages steeped in history and traditions, a slow pace of life and of course the sunshine. Who wouldn't appreciate that!
Great location for exploring Andalucia or the beaches,water parks and shopping complexes are only 35 minutes away.
This spacious, comfortable property offers complete relaxation,to swim, sunbathe, read, catch up with family & friends. An ideal place to unwind and enjoy.

What makes this property unique

We are located in a Natural Park, the surrounding countryside is rich in the flora and fauna of this Mediterranean region. Beautiful for walking in cool pine forests, exploring, seeking out neolithic cave painting, ancient dolmans' and the fabulous rock formations in the Torcal near Antequera
The farmhouse is however only a short drive from the village with plenty of shops to stock up on essentials.
The main coastal motorway linking you to all of Andalucia is only 6 kms away so the hustle and bustle of coastal/city life is still only a short drive away.
We would like to think that our family home is enjoyed as much by our visitors, as we have done ourselves for many years. Modern comforts in a beautifully reformed Andalucian farmhouse, reflecting a bygone age in all its glory.
